LESSology challenge #17 ~ Fun with Envelopes

Hello friends, today's project is for 

LESSology Challenge #17 ~ Fun with Envelopes

I am sure you have tons of these in your mail box every month

I decided to make something pretty out of these...

fold them this way, kind of have a longer end and a short end

trim both ends so you have opening on both sides

I used double-sided tape on the shorter side

and stack all 6 envelopes together, you should have a flip book with lots of pockets at this point

side view......

when I started this project, I have a mini album in mind, but along the way, a little girl named Dolce said: "I wanted a mini book just like that, so I could put all the poems I wrote in the pockets".

Now I have to toss the mini album idea out of the window and Dolce has a say on the patterned paper used on this project

cover all the pockets and envelope with lovely paper

you should now have a pretty book with lots of pockets

last step is to make the chipboard cover front and back, embellished it

Done! Now this is officially a "Dolce's Poem Book"

Hop over to LESSology to see what the creative team had line up for you

Details for our wonderful sponsor for this challenge 

Gauche Alchemy is our sponsor this month!! They are offering a $15 gift certificate to their store!!!

Here is some information on the fabulous Gauche Alchemy!

Gauche Alchemy is for those that create outside of the box, those that create inside of the box and those that tear the box a new one…

If your addiction is vintage ephemera, found objects, beautiful fabric, trendy paper or unique embellishments, we’re here to enable you – oh yeah! Our kits are designed to make you laugh, question social convention and remind us of our past (the good, the bad, the whimsical – even the downright kitschy).

Each kit is designed to jostle your creativity with unique tidbits, coordinated colors and delicious textures. If you are unaccustomed to working with our unique offerings, GOOD! Our goal is to encourage different ways of thinking about the art that is all around us. We are big fans of “upcycling” and hope to encourage others to join us on our path to “recycle, reuse, repurpose!”

Be sure to check out Gauche Alchemy! I can promise you will love them!
